KANUPP Response to Fukushima
Zakir Noor KhanDeputy Chief Engineer, K-2/K-3 Project
Background
� In response to Fukushima NPPs Accident, PAEC Corporate Office called a meeting on 25 March 2011 to discuss the safety of KANUPP and CHASHMA NPPs
� Targeted Action Plan issued for KANUPP by Corporate Office on 22 June 2011
� PAEC Corporate Office so far conducted 05 reviews of FRAP
� Quarterly progress report is being sent to Corporate Office
� 6th Progress Review of FRAP due in Jan 2015

Post-Fukushima Strategy For Modifications
� Enhancement in defense-in-depth
� Use of simple technology
� Easy to implement
� No change in existing logic(s)
� Indigenous efforts (analyses, engg. & implementation)
� Insignificant increase in risk
� Cost effective
1. External Natural Hazard - Earthquake
5
� Original design of KANUPP was based on PGA of 0.1g
� For seismic qualification of older NPPs, the global approach is to re-
assess seismic capacity of plant's structures and equipment through
seismic walk-down
� In 1993, IAEA Seismic Walk Down Mission was invited for re-
assessment of seismic capacity of the plant
� IAEA mission concluded that the plant can withstand seismic event
of twice the original design value of 0.1g with minor seismic
retrofits (easy fixes)
� Sesimic retrofits installed in Re-licensing Outages (RLOs) in 2003 &
2006
Seismic Retrofits / Anchoring (≥ 0.2g)

1. External Natural Hazard – Tsunami/Flooding
7
� In 1945, the great earthquake of magnitude 8.3 caused 10 m height tsunami at Pasni (~275 miles from KANUPP) and only 1.5 m wave height at Karachi.
� In 2004, a study was carried out (based on field evidences) for assessment of tsunami hazard for KANUPP concluded that maximum height of the wave resulting from the tsunami would be up to 3.28 ft (~ 01 m).
� The heaviest rain fall recorded so far during last 50 years in a day ~ 10 inches. The max. rain fall caused flooding in city but plant remained unaffected.
� KANUPP is 39´(~ 12 m) above sea level, quite safe from tsunami.
� Distribution room, EDGs, fuel tanks, FIJW DGs and EFW located at ground level (39 ft above sea level).
Flooding Protection (≥ 3 ft)

2. Make-Shift AC Power
9
� Main output transformer supplies power at 132 kV to the utility system transmission lines through the station switchyard bus.
� In case of loss of off-site power, essential loads of plant are supplied by two 100% duty Emergency Diesel Generators (EDGs).
� A third EDG of same capacity is available as SBO Diesel Generator.
� On-site diesel fuel storage capacity of 05 days is available for operation of one EDG.
� In case of SBO, Emergency Feedwater System (dedicated DG) will remove decay heat
Enhancement of Emergency Power Sources
10
� Provision to energize plant essential buses through existing emergency core cooling DGs (Completed)
� Integration scheme for energization of plant essential buses through 300 kWe mobile / fixed DG (Completed)
� 01 new DG set is under procurement

Using extra capacity of FIJW-DGs to operate limited essential loads
To provide power to essential buses (as a last resort)
3. DC Power Capacity
13
� 02 battery banks DE-BY1 & BY2 (230V DC) provide power to station emergency lighting, inventors and DC motors ~ 01 hr in case of SBO
� 04 more battery banks BY3-BY6 (220V AC and 24V DC UPS) added as a result of technological advancement e.g. instrumentation control and process computer during Re-licensing (2003)
� Backup time of 220V AC and 24V DC UPS ~ 10 hrs
14
Improvement Actions to Enhance DC Power
� Preparation of DC conservation procedure to improve battery back time of 230V DC from 01 to 07 hrs.
� Installation of a 100 kVA DG set and its integration scheme (at higher elevation, resilience from earthquake and tsunami)
� To provide continuous power supply (through 24V DC UPS and 220V AC UPS systems) to control, monitoring and signaling systems in case of unavailability of essential power for longer duration.
� To provide alternate power to ECC MOVs.
� To shift existing 230V DC emergency lighting (currently integrated in distribution room at ground level) to 220V AC UPS to enhance its reliability.

Emergency Core Cooling – Design Features
17
� Passive cooling of core through rundown of Primary pumps, thermosyphoning
� In case of SBO, independent sesimically qualified Emergnecy Feedwater (EFW) system acts as an alternate heat sink.
� Emergency Core Cooling Systems i) Medium Pressure Forced Emergency Injection Water (FIJW) System ii) Low Pressure Emergency Injection Water (IJW) system. IJW provides continuous long term core cooling.
� Auto Boiler Crash cooling system provides quick reduction in primary heat transport system pressure to facilitate injection of FIJW/IJW.
� Reactor vault contains large quantity of light water which can remove the heat from the core debris and retain it within calandria for a long period of time.
